Hey, you! Yeah YOU!
How come you haven't registered? Have you read about our new blue star program? We are donating $10 of each blue star subscription to the Blue Ribbon Coalition to ensure that we will have trails to recreate on for years to come.
Our blue star comes with all the benefits of a red star such as 10 second searching, blue/red star member only giveaways, access to the private blue/red star member forums, etc.

Here is how we found her, we have a bid in on the other 2 he has.

.
Get her on the trailer,
.
.
.
.
and away we go,,,,
Now we have her home, and start looking at the engine to see if she will fire and what it (the engine) is. It is not the OEM 4 cyl.
.
.
Question is, what is it? make and year/s?
.

Thanx Richard

Ok I am building this for someone else (it's a fun job) and I dont always agree with what he decides, it's his money. What he wants is a piece he can add to his collection. If it is driven on the streets it will only be a few times over several years, it will never see trails as long as it is in his collection!
The bed is gone, will build a flatbed for her
The engine sounds good, we will use it
There is little rust,we will patch as needed
Not adding AC
no lift
Keep the added in heater
work out all dents and dings
rewire the whole thing most likely
clean her up make her solid again
new paint new interior new weather strips,
I am also thinking some nice wood panels in the doors
new tires and I bet he'll be putting some nice chrome wheels on also, maybe go a bit larger with the tires but not much

Its going to be a week or 2 before I can get back to her. We had to get rid of a slacking renter, but now I have a shop with 2 bays, 4-3 ton overhead cranes, miller mig welder, new air compressor, new fork lift, very old iron worker etc etc etc,,,, more room to move! Wish I had this kind of cash,,,,

I agree it looks like a Ford I-6 but the starter's not right. It's not a Chrysler
product. The only OHV I-6 Chrysler ever made was the Slant Six. My guess
is it's from one of the orphan makes such as Studebaker. They were popular
swaps back in the late '50's and early '60's. Anyway, nice truck. Years ago
I had a '51 with a 350h.p. 327 Chevy in it. That guy was a rocket ship with
those 5:38 gears. Let us know when you determine engine make.

Chevy never made engines for Studebaker. Studebaker stopped production in
December '63 after producing '64 models for about four months. The Avanti II
used a 327 Chevy sourced from GM but Studebaker Corp. had sold all the tooling and the Avanti name to private investors by this time.

Okay, I'll eat a little crow on that one-but just a little. Let's face it, those after the fact Canadian cars aren't real Studebakers-they're foreign cars ! Kind of like the new Mexican made VW Beetles you could buy up until a few years ago. All kidding aside I'm glad you were able to I.D. your motor as a Studebaker. You may be surprised how readily available and reasonably priced parts are. I agree with 73FJ, a just Willys forum would be fun.

Yup, theres sections for left handed skate boards, metric 9/16 wrenches, used couches for sale, ponies, and other stuff but no Willys forum? C'mon Pirate!
